these vases consist of a square marble base bearing the pedestal decorated with a frieze of leaves and gadroons.

The body has a Medici base with wide gadroons, and two moldings between which is embedded a frieze of rich cartouches each enclosing a lion mascaron. The lion's muzzle handles with a design very inspired by the antique carry heavy rings decorated with berries.
